Small Business IT Strategy
Featured

The new generation of technology has been an era of cloud computing, launch of new tablets, big data and lots more. A lot of these events have been very interesting and eye catching and have impacted many large organizations and technology strategists in the way they strategize their technology plans. On the contrary it is really important for us to know on how these big technology events has impacted the Small and Medium businesses.

We at Directing IT believe that the smaller organizations have not been able to ripe the benefits of these upcoming technologies mostly because of lack of technology focus and funds. It is often observed that small businesses believe in the wait and watch theory before moving to a newer better technology, also because of the myth that the costs of moving to the latest is always high. As a general thought process, even before we understand the benefit of a better technology we start questioning its costs and most of the time we disregard it.

It is time for us to change our mindsets and bring in more progressive technology strategies. In Gartner's, Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2013 / 2014, the top 5 strategies includes personal cloud, hybrid IT and cloud computing and strategic big data. These are worth noting and should definitely be part of the IT strategy for even the smaller businesses. With the focus on personal and hybrid cloud technologies, more and more enterprise applications will now be available to us as pay-per-use which will enable a lot of small and medium businesses to bring in the latest technology and get high return on such investments.

We provide affordable IT Strategy Consulting services specially designed for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
